Description: |
Abstract:
The first part of my improvements consists in locating an enlarged distributing-chamber in the base of the fount, but separate from the latter, the object of this chamber being to prevent an accumulation of oil and water within the "sight-tube", as hereinafter more fully described. The second part of my invention consists in providing the upper portion of the reservoir with a depending flange that serves as a trap or barrier to prevent "condensed water or steam entering the lateral channel leading to the sight-tube.
Claim:
The combination, in a lubricator, of the reservoir A, having at its base an enlarged distributing-chamber, P, of practically the same diameter as said reservoir, the steam-inlet R, entering the center of said chamber, and a side passage, F, leading from the latter to the bottom of the sight-feed tube. |
